Mach1revo Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Here are some pics of my Revell 49 Merc. I removed the drip rails and added some trim with some .060 half round. I also made a front roll pan. The paint is duplicolor perfect match stellar blue pearl and artic white covered with duplicolor clear all from the spray can. I have wired the engine and given it a black wash. I may do fuel lines and throttle linkage.
Draggon Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Beautiful. I really love that color combo! What about the interior, white?
Mach1revo Posted October 14, 2012 Author Posted October 14, 2012 Yes , the interior will be white with the blue inserts on the doors,seats and dash.
Johnny1973 Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Nice paint work and engine detail.The merc is going to look great when completed
Mach1revo Posted October 21, 2012 Author Posted October 21, 2012 Almost done. I removed the molded in battery for a smoother underhood. I also replaced the molded cable on the drivers side with a piece of wire and BMF clamps. Also did BMF clamps on the radiator hose. I made grab handle for the seat backs out of half round styrene flattened on each end. Thanks for looking. All comments welcome.
fatkidd Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 the grab handles on the back of the seat are a nice touch...wish I'd thought of it.

Captain Obvious Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 Really nice...paint looks fanstatic, and the grab handles are just one of those overlooked details that add so much.
